Hey guys, i'm new to the forums here, but i've browsed them for a while. I was just wondering your comments on a small-block chevy 350 swap into an s13 240sx. I currently have the engine, a 2-speed Powerglide transmission, and will soon be getting the rear-end from a chevy s10 pickup. Any comments on this swap (ie: do it, or, you're a frickin idiot) would be greatly appreciated. Also any tips you could give me to help out would also be greatly appreciated.

I beleive it has been done a few times. Some guy on nico has a LT1 engine in a coupe too. I say why not shouldn't cost too much right? I'm guessing this is for drag too cause of the powerglide transmission. a neat swap is the vg30dett. A guy in Cali has it in a stripped hatch with powerglide and last I heard was running low 10's.

shouldnt cost too much if you know what your doing, and it shouldnt cost much more than the motor itself

i thought you had to get custom parts fabricated.. that would make the price go up and up.
